Drupal 4.7.x

I have some information that I want to put into a database on the backend not using Drupal for this and the info would be read only no need or desire to edit it. But I will be adding to it from the backend daily.

Although the data will be in comma-delimited format so if Drupal can handle the import, that would be a bonus.

Looking for a module that will help me pull and display the database info.

Recommendations?

Hi everybody,
May be I make a mistake, but I think there is code without effect in functions variable_set and variable_del.

The start of the function create a copy of the global variable $conf, using the keyword global. After that, the local copy is mofified using $conf[$name] = $value for variable_set, and unset($conf[$name]) for variable_del.

And this is the copy which is modified, not the global instance $GLOBALS['conf'], perhaps what is wanted in the function.

Hi,

I have to admit that I am pretty new to Drupal. I want to install a new module (Shoutbox) and in the install.txt it says:

1. Create the SQL tables.
mysql -u username -ppassword drupal < shoutbox.mysql

Where and how do I do that? I tried to find some infos on that using the search but nothing.

The module I'm talking about is this one: http://drupal.org/project/shoutbox

I'd appreciate any help.

Thanks,
Oliver

I have a forum in my site that is for special guests to take questions from the web site community. The guest is only available for questions for a period of time. After that time I need to close the forum so others cannot make posts.

I do not see an option in administer>>forum, but perhaps I missed something.

Is there a way to close or block posts in a forum, but keep it available for read only?

Thanks for any help.
